The one I've been searching for (5)

Nero smiled at her lovingly as he heard her address him by family name.

"Would you be my girlfriend, Ms. Daryle Duran?" his smile turned back into the longing lips before.

"Mr. Nero Carlson, indeed, it might sound too sudden but yes! I'm willing to be your girlfriend." She said shyly as she but her side lower lip.

"Oh babe! I'm so happy, sooo happy!" He pulled and hugged her again tightly as he stroked her long hair lovingly.

"Daryle... "He whispered in her ear as he planted a kiss on the side above her ear. He felt her nod. "Can I kiss you, I can't wait any longer." His breath became more warm as he whispered right in her ears. He felt her nodding continuously giving him a sign that its alright for her.

He held her back and lifted her chin as his broad body covered her from everyone. He covered her small cherry red lips with his and stayed there for some time. When he let her go, he smiled at her and winked his eyes gazing at those lips he just possessed. They were so sweet and addicting.

"Thank you Daryle. I promise to love you the best way I could." he said as he carrrssed her chin.with his soft fingers.

"Nero Carlson, thank you for finding me. I'm so happy now. I wouldn't know whom I'll get married to after Charles. I didn't think I could fall in love again. It maybe because of his wish but I can surely work it out with you. I can feel you are not that hard to love either." She said.

"What do you mean by that babe?" he was confused. He thought she accepted him already as Nero and not as Charles.

" Charles confessed his love to me just after our graduation, the next day I said yes to him and had committed to love him and everything about him. He was surprised that I developed this deep love for him like instantly, but it's what I just told you. Love is a matter of choice. I don't care how long we've known each other as long as I can feel you sincere intention. I choose to accept and love you, Mr. Nero Carlson sir!" She said as she gave a teasing smile.

"Yes!!! " Nero balled his fist as he raised his long arm in the air.

"Ms. Daryle Duran, I can't wait to propose to you. Let's get married already! Please?" He whispered in her ear as she played her earlobe with his tongue.

"Nero Carlson, im tickled...stop that!" she pinched his strong biceps enveloping her.

"Daryle,I'm going to see Mayor Marquez to sign a document. Why can't we apply for marriage license at the same time?" He pleaded.

"I'm also going home to take my Licensure Exams and have to come back on Sunday night. I'll just spend few days to catch up with my family." She said.

"Wowww! What perfect timing! Don't you think everything is on its proper place my babe. Just say the word and I'll do the courting after our marriage." He said. His heart was ecstatic with joy and love and desire.

"Wait, I heard that also not long ago, but he left me. Am just going to ask, do you have any kind of incurable sickness?" She said seriously.

"What a question! Are you worried I might die so soon also?" he pinched her cheek.

"I can't survive it anymore if that happens." she said worriedly.

"Don't ever think about it babe. Im perfectly fine, except this heart that is dieing to love you. I love you already, babe" He said as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

She hugged him back and raised face to meet his lips. "I love you too, Mr. Nero Carlson." She said as she sat up straight to reach his lips. She kissed him then pressed her point finger over his lips. "sealed" She said as she twitched an alluring smile.

"Ahhhhhh. Thank you Daryle. I'm so happy now. I can't believe I can be this happy in my life. You are the one I have long been searching for this entire life of me!" He squeezed her lovingly against himself.

"Okay, I will go home to tell my parents about us. I worry they might be shocked if I arrive home with a white man. Atleast come with me tomorrow. You can stay in a hotel right? My exam will be on Friday." She said.

"Hmmmm... How about we go directly to your parents after we arrive. I want to ask your hand from them immediately so we can get married the next day. So if you take your exams, you will fill out the forms with my name already. " He said cheekily.

"Seriously? Are you kidding me?" She looked at his eyes as her lips curved with an amused smile.

"Nope, Im not kidding, Im just suggesting babe." He answered innocently.

"That's way too fast though, don't you think so?" She sneered.

"I don't mind baby. I just want to love you already. Everything is possible if you want them to happen, you know." He said.

"Nero...you are nuts! I didn't know you can be too impatient!" She chuckled softly.

"I just discovered it too babe, I didn't know I could be this impatient either. I think only with you. I badly want you Daryle,.please, lets get married already." his breath grew warm again as he nibbled on her earlobe whispering as he enunciated each word he said. She could feel his desire to possess her if they were all alone. She was melting in his embrace that she couldn't resist him.

"Daryle, please... ." He whispered again and again as if begging for mercy.

She nodded as she stared at the back of the seat infront of her. This didn't escape his eyes. "Are you worried of something ?" he asked.

"No, im just thinking about my parents and my family. I don't know how they will take this sudden decision of mine." She said.

"No problem, we will try together. That's why I need to come along with you to speak for myself. Don't you worry.Hmmmmm?" He said as he lifted again her chin and smiled sweetly at her and gave the wink that captivated her from the very first encounter.
